> My Samsung mobile phone is just as difficult to repair as an iPhone.

If anything, the iPhones are much easier to repair.

As of the latest generation of Samsung Galaxy S series and iPhones that have been torn down by iFixit, the Galaxy S20 was given a repairability score of 3 vs. a score of 6 for the iPhone 12.

On the iPhone, iFixit said:

>[ease of] display and battery replacements remain a priority in the new iPhones' design.

Most other important components are modular and easy to access or replace.

On the Galaxy S20, iFixit said:

>Every repair starts with painstakingly un-gluing the fragile glass rear cover.

Replacing the glued-down battery is tougher than ever, especially with board interconnect cables to work around.

All-too-common display repairs require either a complete teardown or replacing half the phone.

Ask HN: How to talk to my parents and older family members about fake news?
Hi Hacker News,

I really like this website. This is my favorite place on the internet. I learn a lot from the material and comments people post. Hence, I would like to ask for your help.

Since 2013/2014, my parents and close family members started to use WhatsApp. They have been using the internet for a long time but smart mobile phones and Whatsapp are more of a recent phenomenon.

Their behavior concerning WhatsApp use seems to be a general trend in Brazil regarding people from the Baby Boomer generation [1945-1965]. Unfortunately, there is a lot of fake news being shared on WhatsApp groups.

Currently, it is hard for me to discuss ambiguous and politically sensitive things with them. Actually, everything seems to be more politically sensitive than it used to be 10 years ago which only makes things worse.

My parents and older family members are too naive about the things they receive on WhatsApp. To make things worse, they receive suspicious material from friends and family members who are from the same generation and also tend to be less critical about what is going in their groups.

I have a very good relationship with my parents and we have similar ideological beliefs. However, their behavior and beliefs are becoming more extreme and less reasonable year after year. When I present some official information, e.g. evidence about Hydroxychloroquine, they always have some link or video from an unknown and unreliable source to refute my point and endorse their own.

In the background, the "Journalism Crisis" just makes things worse. They are really suspicious about what the main media says. Paradoxically, they are friendly about what the alternative media on their WhatsApp says.

I do not know how to handle this. Do you guys have pragmatic advice? Do you have similar problems? How do you guys handle it?

I do not want to give up on my parents. I do not want to talk to them only about amenities.
I guess that's one way to look at it.

But:

1. Most gas stations break even on the gas an make money on the attached convenience store. That's a different business model than "charge at home" or "charge at streetlight" while you're sleeping.

2. A gas station is a place you "go" to. You're normally taking a detour or at least making an extra stop. Most day-to-day EV charging is done at your normal destination while you're doing things you'd otherwise be doing.

Those are fairly fundamental differences to the gas station model, as far as I'm concerned.

There were 70MM shares of gamestop short around the beginning of the month: https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSE/GME/short-interest/

Around 1BB shares of gamestop have been bought/sold over the last two weeks. So shorts covering represent at most 7% of the volume.

Or people start paying tesla owners for charging.
I don’t think it’s about that at all. If you follow the subreddit at all, you’d see that WSB investors have been losing immense amounts for a long time now.

I think the primary thing that baffles the more traditional investing establishment is how irrational WSB investors actually are.
You can buy or sell an option to open a position. If you want to buy it, you Buy to Open and Sell to Close.

If you sell an option, you Sell to Open. If you want to buy it back (at a profit/loss and you're not assigned), you Buy to Close which goes back into the market and closes your position. If you are assigned (i.e. the buyer of your option exercises his right to buy 100 shares at the strike price), you have no option other than to buy those shares at market price if you don't have any and deliver it to the option buyer.
Neither of your corrections are right, but thanks for providing a cite on how exactly a charity owns much of Hershey.

With his r/WallStreetBets posts and comments hidden (due to the sub going private), it's interesting to see the u/DeepFuckingValue's comments[1] from a year ago:

The guy has turned $50k into $50M in the one year since those first comments were made, with half of that made yesterday.

[1]. https://www.reddit.com/user/deepfuckingvalue
> Facebook and Twitter are a blip in history. Their relevance today pales in comparison to their historic and future relevance. All 233M, scratch that, all billion or two billion or however many of those users have other things to do with their time besides Facebook all day. Facebook in that case is a part of their lives, it is not a replacement for their lives nor what ultimately determines their lives and choices, meaning it does not absolve anyone of personal responsibility for the choices they make.

Why does the past or future matter? Their decisions can impact our democracy now. The fact is, they own the market now and they can impact our democracy now.

Are you in favor of a completely "free" market? You really believe that competition alone will ensure consumers have the final say? What about standard oil? Did that go well? Monopolies and oligopolies strangle out competition and harm the consumer. That is why laws were put in place to prevent those types of things from happening. That is why facebook is being sued by the FTC right now. Their business practices are unfair to competition and are not in the best interest of our society.

> That is correct. We’re not just one big unified hunky dory family all marching towards the same ends and the same future. We’re a bunch of people, with our own interests, and mostly unconcerned with the government and the State until we need to be. Facebook is concerned with making money, I’m concerned with my own affairs, and you are also concerned with your own affairs. That’s life, and if we see each other on the street, let’s get along.

So are you saying we just let facebook do whatever they want until they are replaced by competition? What if that impacts our society negatively for a year? A decade? 100 years? At what point do we step in and enact laws to protect our society from negative consequences?

The point of the government is to be a steward of our society and to ensure it is fair, healthy and prosperous. Laws are put in place to do just that. The content moderation practices of facebook can impact our society. It seems logical to me that the government should enact laws to do the same in this case as it would in other activities detrimental to society (e.g. murder, drunk driving, etc).
It's just as ridiculous as the fact that r/wsb insiders are obviously abusing their positions to get rich at the cost of newcomers, basically constructing a public pyramid scheme, while everyone there keep repeating it's a way for the average person to avenge wall street, because that shit really works with the average young reddit person.

I've underutilized Python's OO system and I've certainly overutilized it. The light bulb moment for me was when I read: "prefer composition to inheritance". Which Wikipedia tells me comes from "Design Patterns" but I'm pretty sure I remember the argument from "Working Effectively with Legacy Code." Obviously it's not a hard rule to avoid inheritance, but once I started asking myself, "Is this relationship an is or a has?", my designs got a lot better. And by better I mean they quit making me angry when I revisited them months later.

PS. Highly recommend that book BTW. Especially (and somewhat ironically) for people designing new systems. Everything is eventually legacy. :-)
> If WSB looks like a place where people go to lose money then it's popularity will drop.

This is how I know you have 0 idea what you're talking about.
/r/WallStreetBets is now invite only
The thought crossed my mind too, but if so then why?
So, from what I understand (I did not do the maths myself), despite Gamestop being the most traded stock right now, not enough has moved in the premarket for Melvin Capital to actually close their position when they claimed they did. It seems a very dubious claim.

WSB is now also offline on Discord. Does this have anything to do with SEC / Biden administration "monitoring the situation"?
Love to see this kind of craftsmanship. It's nice to make things snappy, especially because it broadens the reach to people who don't have the best hardware or connections.
Well the original plan would have put it as the first one in against a peer adversary [0]. The rate of attrition against '70s/'80s vintage air defence would have been horrific, can you imagine what it would be like now?

this can't be a coincidence. r/wallstreetbets has gone private!

is this because of the SEC??? or are we witnessing a Godfather 2 ending where Michael whacks everybody just before the credits roll?

Something is incredibly fishy about this, the ban and subreddit going private happened not too far from each other.

Really worried about what will happen on Friday, there is no way to read the wsb subreddit anymore!
That's useful, thanks. Though an estimate of seroprevalence based on a blood bank survey (both of these are from the same group, using the same method) has issues with bias (in particular, see the number of re-weightings performed and the huge impact of these adjustments in Figure 2A of the second link), that makes me hesitant to believe any claim starting with "75% of the population was infected, therefore..."

In other words: if we're seeing a resurgence in cases now, the parsimonious answer is that the blood-bank survey estimate was wrong, not that the virus is escaping all immunity. My prior probability of this explanation is dramatically increased when I see that the seroprevalence data was adjusted upward by a factor of 2-3 to account for "seroreversion" (which is essentially guessing).
I joined the server and the first thing I saw was a mod saying the N word with hard R. Check their history and there's literally pages of it.

I didn't appreciate that so I reported it and left.

Lots of people confusing this with not liking WSB.

The other WSB discord which was linked to the subreddit was fine even though it was barely moderated. Rough around the edges like WSB tends to be... but fine as a place to hang out and see funny things.

-

This second server was extreme even by WSB standards.

The joke is "4chan found a bloomberg terminal" but really it's like Reddit found one... no one is as down right randomly gross or racist as people are on deep end 4chan or Reddit would have banned it a long time.

This server was really like if the worst part of 4chan pretended to know what a stock is. It wasn't even coherent by WSB standards, and the signal to noise made WSB proper look like an actual Bloomberg Terminal
Think they landed on the moon...
It feels more like the SSR part was not the right tool for the job in this case (or maybe it was from the speed point of view and not development). Your point seems to be that react is better than SSR and not that mixing technologies is bad.
First thing to note is that DC fast chargers output high voltage DC to the vehicles they are charging, bypassing the onboard charger. So although most are theoretically capable of charging many different cars at their voltage requirements, not all are, and that's a base requirement. In order to even charge the different Tesla models and their differing packs, the chargers are capable of varying voltage and current. So they are designed to be variable, but depending on how it's designed, most likely the vehicle needs to communicate the voltage and current charging requirements for it's state of charge.

Secondly, Tesla's chargers have unique connectors and unique communication with the vehicles. Not to mention, the architecture is designed in a way that no payment, identification, etc. happens at the supercharger. You just plug it in and everything else is handled on your vehicle touch screen and Tesla web account. So really, unless Tesla decided to license the tech and allow other vehicle brands to id and communicate with their chargers, it wouldn't be possible to charge at a supercharger.
They already cashed out $13MM, and the remaining stock were bought at like $14/share. Even if it crashes, they still called this thing like a year out and got rich off of it.
Why? What does it really matter if we just blink out of existence?

well the r/wsb subreddit has gone private too.

We are experiencing technical difficulties based on unprecedented scale as a result of the newfound interest in WSB. We are unable to ensure Reddit's content policy and the WSB rules are enforceable without a technology platform that can support automation of this enforcement. WSB will be back.

This seems like a DDOS attack on r/wsb well knowing that the moderators cannot keep up with moderation?

Or is this simply a case of getting too popular for Reddit? The fact that discord was banned around the same time as r/wsb going private is suspect.

>WSB is notorious for also posting a lot of anti-LGBT slurs (for example, one of WSBs favorite insults is calling someone a "gay bear", or more commonly a rainbow emoji followed by a bear emoji, or even calling people f*gs).

For what is worth, they pretty much never use it actually insultingly, and do not seem to harbor any ill-will against LGBT people (and some of them are lgbt). They also mostly use those words to describe themselves, and do it more as a nod to boiler room talk/4chan.

>Sometimes on the Discord server there are just people spamming the N word for no reason.

As far as I know, a lot of that is done by bots, though possibly set by other users to prank the discord.
Hi there. Fortunately for the ML team, the Previews team kept a detailed cost breakdown for different preview types - including on the fly generation cost, async generation cost, and cost to serve a preview. Our ballpark accounted for some of the varying costs, though the difference is not significant.

> non-generics cost as much as the US

They can, but they vary. I'm a citizen of both countries and there's one allergy medicine I take where the generic price in the US is the same as the name brand price in Canada. The name brand in the US is 7x higher than the name brand in Canada.
>In practice 28% of global EV sold are Tesla

18%, and share shrank in 2020. Why make stuff up?
"Gay bear" is not an insult or pejorative. Most of wsb were "gay bears* in Feb - April.
> In a nutshell the Buffet rule is making sure that the ultra-rich are taxed at no less than the same rate as a middle income family, namely 30%.

For different kinds of income, you’re ignoring the fact that this would tax capital gains at the rate of earned income. It’s not about wealth but the source of the income.

> In total the changes proposed in [1] would bring a net increase in revenue on taxation of individuals north of $50 bn per year

Yes, but they would not bring an appreciable amount of revenue in for the government, so why bother? Especially since you’d be decreasing the marginal profitability of investments, which would make certain investments unattractive and thereby reduce investment.

> And no, the US does not have actual socialized healthcare.

Yes we do, source, I live here and I have healthcare. You’re required to have coverage and the cost depends on your income level. Below a certain income its covered, above a certain income you need to contribute. I.e. socialism.

> When you have parents sitting with a sick child in their car in the parking lot outside the hospital, waiting as long ad possible before they go to in, in case the kid gets better so they can avoid racking up a huge hospital bill, you've screwed something up real bad.

Yeah socialism has a loooooot of problems.

> This doesn't happen ever in any country in Europe, period.

No they just tell the travellers to keep travelling and they deny medical care because the little sod isn’t worth it to them. You do understand that socialized medicine refuses care to people who aren’t deemed to be “worth it”, don’t you?

> I don't understand at all the reference to imaginary zeroes here. My point is that government subsidised paid parental leave is a measure that significantly increases the quality of life of low- and middle-income families in the critical period of time when their children are very small. It's a no-brainer even financially, the ROI from increased productivity in the workforce over the span of a decade is strongly positive.

If the ROI is positive then businesses will do it of their own accord. Mandates are only required for interventions with a negative r.o.i.

> If you let a woman take parental leave and take care of her babies for a couple of years total in her 30s, versus working her to the bone in that period, I guarantee you she will have a net increase in her productive labor output during her lifespan.

She may not be working for the same firm during that time. You need to assure that the person who paid for her time off is the recipient of the increased productivity else you’re just playing 3 card monty.
Other shorts may well have moved in. Shorting at 3$ was optimistic. Shorting at $300 is less so.

Some people are saying that Melvin Capital lied. That seems unlikely: my guess is that you'd go to jail for a long time if you lied about your purchases to manipulate the market on such a grand scale.

> Can you be 100% sure that GPT-3 will really understand what you want to query? Or do you have to double check every query before you run it?

Isn't that the same for your new coworker Bob over in that corner of the room? Sure, his "failure modes" might look different, but how can you tell whether someone (or something) "understands" what you want to query? And how can you be sure they got it right if you don't double check?

In my eyes GPT-3 is akin to a freshly hired grad that can't operate google (so you have to send him some related stackoverflow examples for his task). You can't trust that the result is right in either case, but both might bring pretty decent domain knowledge and - when given work accordingly - could save you time in the end.
How do you manage to not have global objects?

FP and imperative handle data without huge amounts of global state the same way. By structuring your code properly.

Per your example, your Client instance still has to be passed around everywhere it's needed, and you call client.push_data() on it; in FP or imperative approaches, you would pass around a Client struct or tuple or similar, and call push_data(client).

OO just bundles state and functions together, as fields and methods on an object. Which has its pros, and its cons.

Serious point, though: They can decide to ban (almost?) anyone at any point. They will state a justification, but it looks a lot like banning anyone whenever they decide to.

The banning of discord and r/wsb going private is quite scary, especially given the timing.
